Can McCain bring conservatives together?

......Rosemary Jenks of the immigration reduction group Numbers USA says although McCain promised conservatives he will secure the borders, his stance on immigration is still a problem. "Well, it's that word 'first' that he keeps using -- you know, 'we need to secure the border first.' That's a clear sign to me that he doesn't get it," argues Jenks, "[and] that he has basically decided that he will be patronizing enough that he will go along with the American people in their desire to secure the border so that he can get his amnesty [bill] through."....

I do not have a candidate to support. They are all trying to mix liberal socialist policies with conservatism. And that most certainly includes the President. Ron Paul or Alan Keys might be an option if they were not treated like step children and shut out of many of the debates. But I do not think either has much of a chance.

Really? That statement was made against me personally to belittle my position. That is a personal attack. And it wasn't approrpiate.

See it however you wish, it does not make it correct.

You continue to throw around statements like that with nothing to support them with, and it matters not what name you post from on here, that remains the same. Again, the martyr suit does not fit too well.

Some people respond to personal attacks with more personal attacks. I am not going to take part in that. But I will point them out. As far as being a "martyr" well this nonsense goes on all the time on this board with people other than me. It has become almost an accepted behavior here. And the use of the word "martyr" appears to be an intentional distraction from the poor behavior.

Where is it written that those of us who do support a candidate can't criticize those who don't?

The answer to both questions: it isn't written anywhere. Message boards, like life, is more fun when you make up the rules as you go.

Thank you.

You helped make my point. :thumbs: Why is it necessary to criticize anyone here for who they support? Why not be critical of the candidate they support instead? Oh...I get it.!!! Since you can't criticize a candidate someone doesn't support, it's necessary to criticize the bb member personally. Hey! I may learn how to play this game yet.

Just to make it clear.

I don't support anyone either. But I will when the time is right, albeit with nose tightly held. Is that better than switching support 2 or 3 times during the primary process? It is to me.

It seems the Republican nominee has been selected without me having any say in the matter , so I don't owe him any loyalty at all during the primaries.

As for the democrats, none of the candidates they put forward would ever be acceptable under any circumstances.
